THE 2022 HHCC Santini BOVINGDON BOMBER SUMMER CRITERIUM SERIES

It is fast, flat, sweeping and technical and always produces good safe racing. We are supported by Santini, Velofique and Lovelo/Venture Performance.

THE SEVEN CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHER CATEGORY NIGHTS DECIDE THE KING & QUEEN OF THE BOMBER
Bomber points which count towards the overall King & Queen trophies will be issued on the higher category (cat. 2/3) championship nights only. Your BEST 5 results will count towards your final score. If points tie then the most wins during the season takes the trophy then counting back to 2nd places, 3rd places etc.

Bomber points will mirror BC points ie. 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1

Sprint primes will only be available at the seven championship rounds only and are awarded to 1^st and 2^nd over the line (2,1 bomber points & £10 cash to winner). There will be one sprint at any point in the race but not within the first 5 or last 5 laps.

The King & Queen of The Bomber receive the Title, Trophy & £200 cash.
